Recovery from cardiac surgery is associated with severe chest pain at the site of sternotomy and limb pain at the site of conduit harvesting. Patients routinely report mild to moderate pain even though they were administered sedative drugs. The integ
ration of massage therapy into the team approach in patient care constitutes a move forward that recognizes pain as the fifth vital sign after pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate.
This study was performed on patients who had open heart surgery and had the inclusion criteria for entering the study in ICU in Bassel Center for disease and heart surgery in Lattakia. A sample of 30 male and female patients was randomly divided into two groups: control group, experimental massage group. The experimental group received hand and foot massage after surgery.
Our findings demonstrate that the mean score of pain severity in both groups was not significantly different at the beginning of the study. This means that pain severity was similar in both groups at the beginning of the study before applying any intervention. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of pain severity of the intervention group and the control group, after applying hand and foot massage together. The study concludes that foot and hand massage is one of the available interventions in complementary medicine and treatment which provides an opportunity for nurses to care for their patients.
Introduction: Sleep disturbance is common among patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Changes in clinical practice to promote sleep in the ICUs have been sporadic. The European Respiratory Society and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicin
e recognize that massage therapy may improve quality of sleep.
Goal: This study was conducted to identify the effects of back and face massage on sleep quality in ICU patients.
Material and Methods: A sample of 45 patients in intensive care units in Al-Assad University Hospital and Alwatani Hospital were recruited in the study. Both the massage and control participants were evaluated for sleep quality by Groningen sleep quality scale, 1 hour after administration of the protocol.
Results: The effectiveness of back and face massage, as quality of sleep,
is significantly improved (p=0.000) in the experimental back and face massage
groups (mean score 3.9981), and (mean score 4,4043) respectively, than in control group (mean score – 0.8117).
In conclusion, our data suggest that back and face massage therapy is effective in improving the quality of sleep in ICU patients
Oral complications are common in patients with cancer who
undergo chemotherapy treatment. Not all patients are at equal risk
for developing oral complications. A number of variables have been
identified that bear on both the frequency and severity
of oral
problems associated with therapy. These can be divided into those
that are associated with the patient and those that are related to the
treatment regimen. In this study we have studied the effect of
patient age and gender on the oral complications in group of patients
who undergo chemotherapy treatment. We conclude that aging can
affect some oral complication chemotherapy like xerostomia and
taste changes whereas gender has it effect on pain and oral sence
disorders mainly in males.
Background: cancer patients experience large physical and emotional challenges
related to side effects of chemotherapy drugs, which make coping and adaptation essential
issue for coping with disease. Aim: this study was conducted to identify coping
strategies
among cancer patients during chemotherapy and its relation with patient's age and gender
Methods: data were collected from 150 patients from Tishreen university hospital by using
brief coping questionnaire in addition to demographical sheet Results : the results
revealed that cancer patients tend to use various coping strategies which are problemfocused
and emotional- focused, reflected positive and negative coping. The most used
coping strategies were active coping strategy (78.66%), followed by seeking social support
for instrumental reasons strategy (76.66%), followed by planning strategy (76%), then
focus on and venting of emotions (75.33%), followed by acceptance strategy (70.66%),
then seeking social support for emotional reasons (68%), then turning to religion (58%).
Also results showed that coping strategies changed according to age and gender changing
(p < 0.05) where women tend to use emotional- focused coping strategies while aged
patients prefer emotional social support and acceptance. Conclusion: emotional issues for
cancer patients during chemotherapy require more concern with ongoing assessment for
adaptation and coping strategies, for designing appropriate interventions agreed with
coping behaviors which cancer patients demonstrate during treatment.
